abstract: In an antenna array design scenario the reliability of the excitations' amplitudes and phases values is very important in order to satisfy the design constraints on the array's radiation pattern. The literature proposes some probability curves and statistical descriptions methods that can help the designer to predict the effect of the errors, at the cost of an high computational burden. In this report, Interval Arithmetic is exploited to overcome this problem and Interval Analysis is applied to a mask constrained power synthesis procedure in order to synthesize a beam shaped linear array robust with respect to the excitations' errors using a PSO optimizer. A preliminary numerical example is reported to show the behaviour of the proposed method.
